Others have answered why they aren't being run and how to get them to
run, but I want to comment on the question in the subject line...
You _can_ use executable binaries for the various tools, but you
should avoid it if you can. Your package might be opened on any
release of Mac OS X past and future, from 10.0 to Mac OS 20 (someday.)
A well written shell script is a lot more likely to work on systems
in the past and in the future.
